We’ll start by passing through BoA lock then later cross the River Avon over two aqueducts, at Avoncliff and Dundas.

On arrival at Dundas we’ll eat our picnic lunch then begin the return walk to BoA. This will take us along the canal to start with, then a short climb on the road up into Limpley Stoke and across fields to Freshford Station. Following the road through Freshford we’ll join the field path alongside the River Frome, then the River Avon to Avoncliff. From here we’ll follow the canal path again back to the start at the lock.
